Extraction, purification, identification and metabolism of 3′,5′-cyclic UMP, 3′,5′-cyclic IMP and 3′,5′-cyclic dTMP from rat tissues

Abstract: The large-scale extraction and partial purification of endogenous 3',5'-cyclic UMP, 3',5'-cyclic IMP and 3',5'-cyclic dTMP are described. Rat liver, kidney, heart, spleen and lung tissues were subjected to a sequential purification procedure involving freeze-clamping, perchlorate extraction, alumina and Sephadex ion-exchange chromatography and preparative electrophoresis. The samples thus obtained co-chromatographed with authentic cyclic UMP, cyclic IMP and cyclic dTMP on t.l.c. and h.p.l.c. and the u.v. spect… Show more

“…These data raise the intriguing question whether UTP and CTP can also be substrates for ACs. In support of such a possibility is the fact that both 3Ј,5Ј-cyclic CMP and 3Ј,5Ј-cyclic UMP do, indeed, occur in mammalian tissues as shown by sensitive mass spectrometry techniques (Newton et al, 1984(Newton et al, , 1986. Moreover, in experiments with [␣-32 P]UTP as substrate, [ 32 P]cUMP was identified as a bona fide product of sGC (Gille et al, 2004), but direct structural confirmation of cUMP production by sGC with mass spectrometry techniques is still missing.…”

“…Pyrimidine cyclic nucleotides were first identified in the 1960s to 1980s (10,11,18,23,41,42), with evidence for expression of enzymes that synthesize and degrade cUMP and/or cCMP (12,23,30,31). However, studies were confounded by limitations in the available research tools, including antibodies that were not sufficiently selective to discriminate between contaminating molecular species.…”

“…Moreover, ATP and UTP were reported previously to inhibit sGC competitively (39 -41). Furthermore, cUMP occurs at low concentrations in mammalian tissues (77,78), but its enzymatic origin has remained unknown. The low cUMP levels conform to the low UC activity of sGC.…”
